Proposed Amendment No. 1 · Legislatively referred constitutional amendment

Transfer of disabled veteran property tax exemption by surviving spouse

Official ballot title (quoted exactly)

Do you support an amendment to allow the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran with a service-connected disability, who receives the additional property tax exemption, to make a one-time transfer of the additional property tax exemption to a subsequent qualifying property? (Effective January 1, 2027) (Amends Article VII, Section 21(K)(1))

Ballot proposition as printed in the Louisiana Secretary of State’s list of 2026 proposed constitutional amendments.

A YES vote means:

A surviving spouse of a veteran with a service-connected disability who receives the additional property tax exemption could transfer that exemption once to a new qualifying home, starting January 1, 2027.

A NO vote means:

The constitution would not change; the exemption could not be transferred this way.

What it would change

  • Who is affected: surviving spouses of disabled veterans who receive the additional exemption.
  • Taxes: allows a one-time move of an existing property tax exemption to another qualifying property.
  • Fiscal impact: No official fiscal impact statement is included with the ballot proposition in the Secretary of State’s list of proposed amendments.
